RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: Alexa Traffic Rank: 18,935I own both INT and PYN. INT's growth is spectacular, but Poynt is no slouch. You can see from the press release below that at 6.5 million unique users, PYN has already hit 1 billion interactions. So those are some very dedicated users. And why not, it's a great app.
There's a lot of chatter about PYN's coming launch in India, which could easily bring tens of millions more users.
The big question, as with INT, is how PYN will turn increasing traffic into revenues. The potential of both stocks is ENORMOUS.
I would never sell INT to buy PYN. No need, I already have shares in each, the best of both worlds.
